DNA methylation sites in early adulthood characterised by pubertal timing and development: a twin study

Markus Kirolos Youssef

Background Puberty is a highly heritable and variable trait, with environmental factors having a role in its eventual timing and development. Early and late pubertal onset are both associated with various diseases developing later in life, and epigenetic c ...

Multidisciplinary Approach to Treat Erectile Dysfunction

Mikaël Nils Sturny

Erectile dysfunction (ED) is a widespread disease affecting approximately 20% of men. With a rising incidence due to the global ageing of the world population, it is estimated that over 322 million patients will be affected in 2025. While not being a lifet ...

At the Intersection of Microbiota and Circadian Clock: Are Sexual Dimorphism and Growth Hormones the Missing Link to Pathology? Circadian Clock and Microbiota: Potential Egffect on Growth Hormone and Sexual Development

Benjamin Dieter Weger, Frédéric Bruno Martin Gachon

Reciprocal interactions between the host circadian clock and the microbiota are evidenced by recent literature. Interestingly, dysregulation of either the circadian clock or microbiota is associated with common human pathologies such as obesity, type 2 dia ...

The role of the transcriptional regulator BCL6 in adipose tissue development and remodeling

Teresa Didonna

The adipose tissue is increasingly recognized for the important role it plays in various diseases and pathological conditions, such as obesity, diabetes, cardiovascular diseases, osteoporosis, cancer, and aging. Despite its long-held reputation for being a ...

Sexual selection shapes development and maturation rates in Drosophila

Laurent Keller, Brian Dennis Hollis

Explanations for the evolution of delayed maturity usually invoke trade-offs mediated by growth, but processes of reproductive maturation continue long after growth has ceased. Here, we tested whether sexual selection shapes the rate of posteclosion matura ...

Gender-specific alteration of energy balance and circadian locomotor activity in the Crtc1 knockout mouse model of depression

Pierre Magistretti

Obesity and depression are major public health concerns, and there is increasing evidence that they share etiological mechanisms. CREB-regulated transcription coactivator 1 (CRTC1) participates in neurobiological pathways involved in both mood and energy b ...

Bile acid-FXR alpha pathways regulate male sexual maturation in mice

Kristina Schoonjans

The bile acid receptor Farnesol-X-Receptor alpha (FRX alpha) is a member of the nuclear receptor superfamily. FRX alpha is expressed in the interstitial compartment of the adult testes, which contain the Leydig cells. In adult, short term treatment (12 hou ...

Implication of individual differences in glucocorticoid responsiveness to stress in the development of psychopathology-like behaviour and underlying neurobiology

Sophie Elizabeth Walker

The period around puberty is a critical window in development. It is a time of neuroendocrine and neuroanatomical lability, rendering individuals highly sensitive to stress. Indeed, early adversity increases risk for psychopathology. The mechanisms via whi ...

Endocrine hormones and local signals during the development of the mouse mammary gland

Cathrin Brisken, Dalya Ataca

Most of mammary gland development occurs postnatally under the control of female reproductive hormones, which in turn interact with other endocrine factors. While hormones impinge on many tissues and trigger very complex biological responses, tissue recomb ...

Peripubertal stress-induced behavioral changes are associated with altered expression of genes involved in excitation and inhibition in the amygdala

Maria del Carmen Sandi Perez, Stamatina Tzanoulinou, Orbicia Riccio Wicht

Early-life stress is a critical risk factor for developing psychopathological alterations later in life. This early adverse environment has been modeled in rats by exposure to stress during the peripubertal period-that is, corresponding to childhood and pu ...

The Orphan Nuclear Receptor Nr5a2 Is Essential for Luteinization in the Female Mouse Ovary

Kristina Schoonjans

In the ovary, the follicular granulosa cells express the nuclear receptor Nr5a2 (nuclear receptor subfamily 5 group A member 2), also known as liver receptor homolog-1, and after ovulation, Nr5a2 expression persists in the corpus luteum. Previous studies d ...

Long-term programming of enhanced aggression by peripuberty stress in female rats

Maria del Carmen Sandi Perez, Maria Isabel Cordero Campana

Human literature has linked adverse early life experiences with an increased risk to develop violent behaviors in both boys and girls. We have previously shown that male rats submitted to stress during the peripuberty period display as adults abnormal aggr ...

N-acetylcysteine normalizes neurochemical changes in the glutathione-deficient schizophrenia mouse model during development

Rolf Gruetter, João Miguel das Neves Duarte

Background: Glutathione (GSH) is the major cellular redox-regulator and antioxidant. Redox-imbalance due to genetically impaired GSH synthesis is among the risk factors for schizophrenia. Here we used a mouse model with chronic GSH deficit induced by knock ...

Perinatal Exposure to Bisphenol A Increases Adult Mammary Gland Progesterone Response and Cell Number

Cathrin Brisken, Jacques Rougemont, Ayyakkannu Ayyanan, Tamara Tanos

Bisphenol A [BPA, 2,2,-bis (hydroxyphenyl) propane] is one of the highest-volume chemicals produced worldwide. It is detected in body fluids of more than 90% of the human population. Originally synthesized as an estrogenic compound, it is currently utilize ...

Role of canonical Wnt signaling in mammary gland development

The female reproductive hormones estrogens, progesterone, and prolactin control postnatal breast development and are important to breast carcinogenesis. In particular, exposure to progesterone is tightly linked to breast cancer risk. Using the mouse as a m ...

Notch1 is essential for postnatal hair follicle development and homeostasis

Freddy Radtke, Yann Barrandon

Notch genes encode evolutionarily conserved large, single transmembrane receptors, which regulate many cell fate decisions and differentiation processes during fetal and postnatal life. Multiple Notch receptors and ligands are expressed in both developing ...
